The muscles are starting to ache, and the body is starting to fatigue, but Day 3 of the Masters Swimming Australia National Championships didn't disappoint at all! ✨

Highlights for our four Ryde Masters swimmers include:

7⃣ Helen adding another National Top 10 finish to her tally, this time in the 400m Backstroke!
🥉 Mark and Annalisa both brought home bronze medals in the 50m Breaststroke for their respective age groups, taking their medal tallies to three a piece!
💪 After a cracking PB in the 200m Backstroke yesterday, Aimee took it one further today with a 34-second PB in the 400m Backstroke this afternoon!

Plus, we all got to witness the sprint masterclass that is Cam McEvoy in the 25m Freestyle! What a swim!

Keep up the great work team - bring on Day 4! Go Ryde! 🩷💙

Have you been keeping track of your swims for the Masters Swimming Australia Target 26-26-26 Challenge in 2026?

It's not too late! Download the Vorgee Million Meters App and start logging your swims to hit those targets! Then, the App will let you know when you have reached your 2.6km target for each fortnight.

You can also back-log swims that you have already completed this year, so it is never too late to join in on the fun! 🧡🩵

Masters Swimming NSW

MSA is excited to introduce our new initiative: Masters Swimming Australia’s (MSA) ‘Target 26-26-26’ Members Swim Challenge

MSA's 50x50x50 Members Challenge proved to be a fantastic way for members to join a weekly swim program in celebration of our 50th Anniversary year during 2025. We were thrilled to see around 650 members jump in and have a go – an outstanding result! Building on that momentum and with a focus on encouraging maximum participation, and also deliberately enhancing flexibility, we aim to open up the fun and give even more members the chance to get involved with a masters swimming goal for 2026.
The concept is simple, flexible and welcoming to swimmers of all levels:

Swim a total of at least 2.6 km in any stroke or combination of strokes, or any combination of laps/distances, within each two-week / fortnight period, for a minimum of 26 completions of a 2.6km total cumulative distance throughout 2026 … or, just for the fun and joy of it, make as many attempts as you can in ‘getting in and having a red hot go’ anyway…
Keep track your progress by logging your 2.6km total via the Vorgee Million Metres App.
